Routine
`file -bL --mime-type`: text/plainPlease describe the problem you're trying to solve
On most other file managers, if you create a file named .hidden and list names of files/directories you want hidden, the file manager will give those files the hidden flag without renaming them to a dotfile.
For example, if my directory structure looked like this:
directoryname/
file.txt
file2.zip
file3.txt
otherdirectory/
.hidden
And my .hidden file contained:
Then file.txt and otherdirectory/ would be invisible unless I enable viewing hidden files, file2.zip and file3.txt stay unhidden.
I'd really love for this functionality to be added to Yazi. I use .hidden files all the time, and it's especially useful for apps that leave random unhidden config directories in my Home folder.
Would you be willing to contribute this feature?
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, it would work the same in Yazi as it does in most other file managers:
- Files and directories should both be able to be hidden.
- The behavior is confined to the directory the
.hidden file is located in. (For example, listing file.txt in directoryname/.hidden won't hide files named file.txt in any other directory)
- Subdirectories of a hidden directory don't inherent the hidden flag. (For example, any files in
otherdirectory/ stay unhidden)
- Filenames are exact. (For example, if I have another file named
file.txt2, it remains unhidden)
